Sexual Violence Resources

Our Commitment

The University of North Texas at Dallas is committed to ensuring an educational and employment environment that is free of discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex.  Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 is the federal statute that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex:  It reads:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

 

Sexual Violence Resources (Title IX)

Sexual violence refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent due to the victim’s use of drugs or alcohol.  An individual may be unable to give consent due to an intellectual disability or other disability such as being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Sexual violence can occur between friends, classmates, spouses, romantic interests, short acquaintances, or strangers.  Examples of sexual violence include rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual coercion.  Dating violence and stalking are also serious offenses.
